“…It is an important basis for understanding urban growth and shrinkage, but a single indicator of economic resilience is inadequate to explain the phenomenon of population loss in urban growth scenarios. In addition, there exists a complex interactive feedback mechanism between population and economic factors [38,43]. Population size and quality have a strong supporting effect on urban economic development, affecting the evolution of urban economic resilience.…”

With the increasing uncertainty of urban development, urban shrinkage in the rapid urbanization process in China has become increasingly serious. While many studies have explored urban shrinkage from the economic and population perspectives, they often ignore the essence of the phased evolution of economic and population factors. Thus, this study introduces the theory of economic resilience into the field of urban shrinkage and constructs a theoretical method for identifying urban shrinkage by integrating economic resilience and population change to reveal the evolutionary trajectory of regional urban growth and shrinkage. The results show that urban economic resilience and population change in the Shanxi-Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia region (SSIMR) exhibit strong volatility, highlighting the importance of conducting urban shrinkage studies within specific crisis disturbance scenarios. In the context of the “new normal of the economy”, the economic resilience of cities in the SSIMR has significantly declined, and the problem of economic recession is gradually intensifying. The population change trend of cities in the SSIMR is relatively stable, with population loss being a common problem in urban development in the area and its scope and intensity increasing daily. Urban development in the SSIMR is evolving from global growth to widespread shrinkage, with 56.67% of the cities experiencing relative shrinkage, showing a spatial pattern of “western growth–eastern shrinkage”. Factors such as the agglomeration effect, industrial structure, and policy system collectively shape the evolution of urban growth and shrinkage.

“…Community development involves people identifying and expressing their needs, addressing common problems, and influencing decisions that affect their lives [14]. Developed areas face complex, ongoing, and continuously changing challenges [15]; rapid and irregular growth [16]; exacerbated environmental and social issues [17], such as housing and immigration [18]; and population shrinkage [19]. The location of settlements was previously determined by their availability of water reservoirs, social and religious aspects [15], physical aspects, capital city, geographical features [20], and the climate [17], not necessarily global trade and economy [21].…”

Cross-border cooperation is critical for regional development capabilities. China and Iran are increasingly strengthening their partnership with the Belt and Road Initiative. This study constructs a regional socio-spatial development index system from the perspective of locals and establishes a DPSIR model with five layers: drivers, pressures, states, impacts, and responses. Bottom-up regional analyses (economic, social, and spatial) were performed to explore local perspectives on cross-border cooperation and assess the possible value system of development in a specific region. Based on 41 quantitative indicators and a genetic algorithm, causal links between economic changes and spatial restructuring were determined and verified. The findings show that cross-border cooperative growth is possible in the research region. Due to regional heterogeneity, excessive pressure on states, and evolving imbalances, we found imbalanced development inside and between sections. Additionally, foreign direct investment enhances cross-border cooperation, which can preserve and develop local economies. Additionally, this study provides suggestions and references for cross-border cooperation opportunities, challenges, and decision-making.

“…When analyzing the discourse on urban shrinkage globally, one should also pay attention to some differences in the approach to this problem, especially in the period up to 2010. In North America or Asian countries, much attention has been paid to demographic and social issues, while in the European debate, especially concerning Central and Eastern Europe, economic issues were a key element, emphasizing reindustrialization [47][48][49][50][51]. In Central and Eastern Europe, such an approach undoubtedly resulted from economic and financial constraints on implementing social policies [8,52,53].…”

The socio-economic and political changes of the end of the 20th century in Central and Eastern Europe had significant impacts on the transformation of urban spaces, especially in industrial and mining towns. The article attempts to explain the essence of these changes concerning the spatial development of—a small post-mining town in southern Poland. This article evaluates urban development policy in response to the significant land-use changes in the small post-mining city of Radzionków, with particular attention to the transformation of brownfield sites to semi-natural areas of regional importance. This issue is interesting for two reasons. First, this small city, located in a large European agglomeration, has to face competition focused on interesting regional projects. Second, there is a desire for reindustrialization as a remedy for job losses in mining and heavy industry. The successful establishment of a large botanical garden in this city provides a case study for discussing the future of small post-industrial cities and the development of land use policy regarding valuable natural areas located in post-industrial and post-mining areas. This study also indicates the vital role of the creative management factor.
